NBA Reviews Tanking Policies, Considering Draft Pick Changes
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
The NBA is reviewing its policies on tanking, where teams intentionally lose to secure better draft picks. The league is considering changes to draft pick protections and the lottery system. Previously, the team with the worst record had a 25% chance of getting the top pick, but this was reduced to 14% for the three worst teams in 2019. New ideas include removing draft pick protections and flattening lottery odds to encourage winning and keep every game meaningful.
